POWERFUL
COMPACT
EXCAVATOR
Takeuchi’s New 6 tonne
Excavator - brings powerful
excavating and breakout force
in a compact machine size
Takeuchi introduces a 6 tonne (5660kg) category of excavator with the new TB260. It’s not just an expanded
5 tonne TB250, or a reduced down 8.5 tonne TB285, the new TB260 is the first ever 6-tonne excavator from
Takeuchi and provides a powerful addition for this in-demand weight class.

The TB260 combines all the proven characteristics of Takeuchi excavators - smooth hydraulics, powerful
machine performance and good serviceability.

The new model is part of Takeuchi’s on-going commitment to machine development, environmental
efficiency, operator comfort, safety and improved machine ergonomics.

The new TB260 has plenty of power and greater torque along with a well proven, high performance
hydraulic system for greater oil flow for faster cycle times and increased efficiency.

POWERFUL BREAKOUT FORCE & INCREASED REACH

Powered by a Yanmar 4TNV84T turbocharged engine, the environmentally
friendly diesel engine is fuel efficient - with automatic idle, dial throttle
control with economy work-mode and electronic engine monitoring.
The TB260 features 43.2 kN bucket breakout force and 27.3 kN digging arm
force – high power for a 6 tonne excavator.
With a massive ground reach of 6130mm and dig depth of 3895mm the
new TB260 offers lots more on site.
MAXIMUM OPERATING
PERFORMANCE
With a track footprint of just 2000 x 2575mm,
the new TB260 with its compact size gets
maximum accessibility on restricted sites.
Two-speed tracking with auto step down
when dozing.
Boom and arm holding valves minimise
cylinder drift and helps maintain load
control in the event of a hose failure.
The lift alarm can be turned off
when not needed but provides
an audible warning when the
boom is reaching hydraulic
lifting capacity.
Automatic idle reduces fuel
consumption with less noise
and longer engine lifetime.
The auxiliary detent switch
prevents less operator fatigue
when using continuously
operating attachments.
Dual proportional control
as standard.
A heavy duty dozer
(430mm high) with
increased operating
range comes as
standard for efficient
on-site finishing and
grading with a well
protected cylinder.

BUILT FOR SITE
The TB260 is built for site, with a strong cast
steel wraparound and 100% steel panels. Well
positioned hydraulic hoses minimize potential
damage and are well protected. Tough components
and heavy duty design adds to durability.

REDUCED TAIL SWING

The compact TB260 features a
shorter than average tail swing
compared to conventional 6
tonne excavators. Just 1300mm
tail swing radius combined with
maximum 300mm overhang at
90° to track, rounded corners
and enhanced all round visibility,
helps minimise potential machine
damage in restricted areas.

RELIABLE TRACK DESIGN

Triple flange rollers and
maintenance free bearings add
to tracking performance, built for
rough terrain to provide many
hours of continuous service.

MAXIMUM ALL DAY COMFORT WITH A HIGH VISIBILITY CAB

The TB260 has the operator in mind, the large comfortable
isolated cab minimises the impact felt. With a sliding
10-way adjustable suspended seat, headrest and ergonomically
positioned hand and foot controls, plenty of foot room, high
capacity automatic climate control, heater and defrost options.

The TB260 offers operators excellent all round visibility;

work lights as standard, a retractable front window with a
removable lower window section, a large skylight with sun
shade and a rainguard for a dryer working environment.

A well positioned colour visual display unit illuminates active

operating switch functions; lift overload, power altitude,
auto idle and auxiliary detent. Operators can easily select
auxiliary preset modes to match all types of attachments.

TB260 SERVICEABILITY
The new styled engine hood and side cover provide unparalleled access to engine and
hydraulic components simplifying all aspects of machine maintenance - all accessible
at ground level.

• Well positioned hydraulic and fuel tank gauges and hydraulic control valve.

• Easy access electric refuelling pump as standard with auto shut off, stowed in
own compartment.

• The rear bonnet provides access to the engine service points.

• Automatic fuel bleed system.

• Side-by-side radiator and hydraulic oil cooler ensures fresh cool air reaches
each cooler, improving efficiency and component life. The A/C condenser is
mounted on a hinged frame - decreasing inspection and cleaning time.
